The Erie Canal (362.9 mi) is not as long as the California aqueduct nor the Grand Canal in China but it is also longer than the "man made river" of the article, and IT HAS A SONG, and a good one at that.

Check out roon + quboz and/or tidal -- that's the audiophile route. Roon is just meta-data and presentation. Quboz/Tidal hold the content. Roon's content and interface is fantastic compared to spotify and apple music.

Not free, but these books from "hook theory" are great and their tools are also amazing. Complementary to the tools at muted.io that the OP references... https://www.hooktheory.com/books

Rails + angular works well, might be a compromise for you. You could replace the backend endpoint by endpoint... e.g. (or similar to incrementalize it). I mean -- assuming the C# is not something you want to carry forward.

What if you were inventing a language (or a programming language)... If you decided to prevent people from saying things you disagreed (assuming you could work out the technical details of doing so) with would it be moral to do so? [edited

Replying to my own post, but to the OP's point -- we can't research very well on US healthcare data in aggregate because it is so error prone and inexact to aggregate it. Data scientists should imagine what we could do with 20 yea

The gap between concept and working product is still very much in the human's wheelhouse. This is an accelerator to snippets not yet turned into a library and, in fact, a lot like a library in terms of it's day to day utility. T

Yes, humans are biased. Sigh/Yawn. Still, there is a world of difference between trying to be objective and not trying to be objective at all. I think, generally, the Times is trying a lot more than most organizations and I respect
